Winter Construction > Our Services

OUR SERVICES

We offer a wide range of planning, design, and construction services for all types of commercial and industrial project types. From feasibility studies and real estate acquisition analysis to industrial and retail development we aid our clients in laying the groundwork for a successful project. From there our design team can put together thoughtful cost conscious plans or work with your architects and engineers as a part of the pre-construction team. Our construction delivery methods are tailored to each client and project and range from full service turnkey design-build to construction management, to traditional general contracting.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION

At Winter Construction we truly believe that when the Owner, Architect, and Contractor work together through the initial planning or phased delivery of a project, the best possible outcomes for cost, schedule, and quality are possible. Regardless of the delivery type, we consider our self a partner in the project, not just the contractor doing what is on paper. We are always looking for options or alternatives that will enhance the quality of the project and improve the budget or schedule. Our team has a unique understanding from many stakeholder viewpoints as we ourselves have developed, owned, and designed projects.
